A LOCAL APPROACH OF SOME PHENOMENA WITH CLIMATIC EFFECTS AT THE GLOBAL LEVEL. CASE STUDY: PIATRA NEAMT TOWN
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Even though on the global level and especially on European plan, climate change problem is tackled with great attention by: United Nations, European Council, European Commission and European Parliament into many official documents concerning with sustainable development, as well as some research institutions and working groups such as EUROSTAT, IPCC, OECD, etc., do it in many reports, analyses and assessments on this theme, local application comes hardly on an efficient level because of a delay and an disparate approach. Global impacts upon climate change have the origin at the local level and therefore any global effect can be mitigated starting from local level through operating upon the original causes. Among local processes generated by human activities with great impacts upon climate change are: greenhouse gases emissions (GHGs) and energy consumption. Monitoring these processes at the local level by using some adequate indicators such as: Local Contribution to Global Warming Potential and Total Local Rude Energetic Consumption can be carried out important steps for an efficient urban audit concerning the sustainable development at the local level and implicitly on the global plan.
